Admin Notice: Rule 6.6

[ryoken]

You heard about the suggested rule-change that pirate transports can be shot by caps if caught issuing a demand? That sounds a preemptive modification to me for implementing it.

At least I didn't ever -hear- about someone demanding in pm before. :$

I have had a few pirates that it main claimed they were just "freelancers" demand payment in PM's 10K from lawfuls. I guess he figures they would not see the fire from 10K away, but can here in local demand. I just lol, and call in lawfuls, but what ever. Rule seems like good idea to me.

This is bad- what If the pirate/one who make the demands is not in position to post it in local/system chat?
What if he does not want the others present should not know if one demands something?
Why the admin team constantly nerf Pirate RP and ship options- Ptransp, P train for smugglers, Pirate freighter as Molly/Rouge tech only? Why the pirates should have less rights then others? Why the pirate capitals wont be able to pirate?
Do the admin team really thinks that they could fix game mechanics with words in forum?

If he is not willing to RP with all in area? then to hell with them. I am sorry i get a pirate demand PM'd to me? I answer in main "what was that pirate? you want HOW much? or you start shooting" and oh's no's it is in the open.

Cant we change this, to:

Any kind of PvP engamement must based on system or local chat? It could be weird when a player starts to fire on somebody due private chat while others just:blink: about a sudden attack...

Yeah i had a guy ask me to fire some shots at him to test his shields once, and next thing i see is 4 ships screaming "HOSTILE" pew pew because he asked me in PM so as not to be OORP. This should clear some paper work, but i think alot of admins may find more OORP chat sanction reports now. So may not reduce paper work all that much. It is true myself, and most others ignore the odd OORP chat, but some get anal and yell at 1 line of non RP chat in main/local.
